Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets: Kicker

KICKERS

Written by Pat Fitzmaurice

Tyler Bass (BUF): 43 rostered

• Next Opponents: SF, @LAR, @DET
• True value: $1
• Desperate Need: $1
• Budget-minded: $0

Analysis: Bass is averaging 9.0 fantasy points per game and has produced double-digit point totals in three of his last five contests. He’s 10-of-10 on FG tries over his last five games. And obviously, one of the most appealing things about Bass is that he’s tethered to the high-powered Buffalo offense.

Austin Seibert (WSH): 49% rostered

• Next Opponents: TEN, BYE, @NO
• True value: $1
• Desperate Need: $1
• Budget-minded: $0

Analysis: Seibert has been a scoring machine for the Commanders when healthy, averaging 12.1 fantasy points per game. He’s gone 26-of-29 on field goals and 22-of-25 on extra points in nine games this season. Seibert missed a 51-yard FG attempt and two extra points Sunday against the Cowboys. His missed extra point near the end of regulation thwarted a miracle comeback for the Commanders after Terry McLaurin had scored an 86-yard touchdown with under 30 seconds remaining. Still, Seibert is an appealing option this week with a home game against the Titans.

Spencer Shrader (KC): 36% rostered

• Next Opponents: LV, LAC, @CLE
• True value: $1
• Desperate Need: $1
• Budget-minded: $0

Analysis: Continuing to fill in for the injured Harrison Butker, Shrader made 3-of-3 field goals and 3-of-3 extra points Sunday against the Panthers, knocking home a game-winning 31-yard FG as time expired. Shrader has a favorable Week 13 matchup against the Raiders, who are allowing 10.9 fantasy points per game to opposing kickers.

Chase McLaughlin (TB): 30% rostered

• Next Opponents: @CAR, LV, @LAC
• True value: $1
• Desperate Need: $1
• Budget-minded: $0

Analysis: McLaughlin has been steady all season, averaging 8.7 fantasy points per game. He’s 17-of-18 on field goals and 32-of-34 on extra points. McLaughlin will next face the Panthers, who entered Week 12 having allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to kickers.

Matt Gay (IND): 18% rostered

• Next Opponents: @NE, BYE, @DEN
• True value: $1
• Desperate Need: $1
• Budget-minded: $0

Analysis: Gay had scored eight or more fantasy points in eight straight games before Week 12, when he was held to a pair of field goals in the Colts’ 24-6 loss to the Lions. Although the Indianapolis offense didn’t make it into the end zone Sunday against a tough Detroit defense, the Colts have looked more potent since QB Anthony Richardson‘s return from a two-game benching. Gay is a reasonable streaming option this week in a good matchup against the Patriots.
